Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-Based Compensation | (8) Stock-Based Compensation Liberty Broadband grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock units and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award and re-measures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. Included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are $6 million and $7 million of stock-based compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $9 million and $14 million of stock-based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Grants There were no options to purchase shares of LBRDA, LBRDB or LBRDK granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards and any subsequent re-measurement of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty Broadband common stock. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject option. Outstanding Awards The following table presents the number and weighted average exercise price (“WAEP”) of options to purchase Liberty Broadband common stock granted to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company, as well as the weighted average remaining life and aggregate intrinsic value of the options. ​

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Liberty Broadband had 83 thousand LBRDB options with a WAEP of $93.13 that expired. As of June 30, 2025, Liberty Broadband had 13 thousand LBRDB options outstanding and exercisable at a WAEP of $100.19, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.7 years and aggregate intrinsic value of zero. As of June 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Awards was approximately $9 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.
